Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hot Criticism Leads to a Storm
"The Million Giant Program Debuts on Phoenix Channel, Four Star Mentors Sing The Voice Together": "The luxury singing program "The Voice of Nature", which has a production cost of up to 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars per episode, was launched after more than a month of careful production, and the ratings of the first episode reached a record 61 points, far exceeding the "Happy Tonight" in that issue. It is reported that the advertising cost of the second issue of "The Voice of Nature" has increased fivefold, making it the most expensive variety show in the history of Hong Kong. —Oriental Daily News
"There has never been a show that has caused such a sensation, and after the first episode of "The Voice of Nature" was broadcast, the next day the whole of Hong Kong was discussing the mentors and singers in the show. Among the four mentors, Zhang Guorong and Teresa Teng are both super first-line singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is rare to be able to put down their bodies and be funny and funny in the show. And Lin Zishen and Teddy Robin, after the broadcast of "The Voice of Nature", their fame and value have risen, and the appearance fee has approached the ...... of President Tan" - "Industrial and Commercial Daily"
"How to make entertainment programs educational?" "The Voice of Nature" has done this, it inspires young people to strive for their dreams, it is a program with a strong sense of social responsibility, and Jiayi TV is also a humanistic and positive TV station. ——Wen Wei Po
"Jiayi TV's programs are always generous, and the stage of "The Voice of Nature" even far exceeds the "Miss Xiangjiang Contest", and the lighting and sound are completely the specifications of medium-sized concerts. It is reported that although the ratings of the first episode of "The Voice" skyrocketed, the first episode of the program lost 600,000. However, due to the increase in advertising costs, the second issue of "The Voice of Nature" will achieve excess profitability. ——Ming Pao Weekly
"Entertainment programs, generally I think are just shows, they are basically fake, what crying dad and calling mother, what pitiful life, what judges are moved and excited to grab people, they are all desperate to attract attention. Who are the people who are attracted? To put it bluntly, they are shallow people who have nothing to do. Pop music is also a science, but if you think about it, after so many shows, what creative talents have been selected, and what people who have contributed to pop music have not been selected......
When I was in the first episode of this show, I took a look at it, but I didn't watch it, it was very fake
What have you never seen such a big name, will you fall for your singing skills, will you cry for a contestant, will you fight for a contestant?
To put it mildly, if someone dies of his, he may not cry like this
There are many TV programs, in order to take care of the needs of different levels, there are different programs, although there are not many good programs in Xiangjiang, but you can also choose what you want to watch. There are some commentary programs and documentary programs that are still very good, although you may not agree with their views, but at least you can use your brains so that you will not be entertained and paralyzed into a thoughtless person. ——"Xiangjiang Morning Post"
…………
After the first episode of "The Voice of Nature" was broadcast, Xiangjiang instantly set off a wave of good voices.
At this time, the first round of Sino-British negotiations has ended, and the good news has made the economy of Hong Kong pick up, and people are not as frightened as they were in the previous two months. With the publicity of Jiayi Channel more than half a month in advance and the attraction of the four mentors, coupled with the novel competition mode and tear point attack, the ratings of the first broadcast beat the ratings of "Happy Tonight", which has been the first in the past ten years.
When the streets and alleys were discussing "The Voice of Nature", the media finally came to join in the excitement and reported overwhelmingly around this show.
In the midst of the applause, there are also opposite scoldings, such as "The Voice of Nature" is a "good actor", the singer is not singing but acting, etc.
The most outrageous is the "Xiangjiang Morning Post", this newspaper seems to hate Jiayitai and took the opportunity to run out and splash the dirty water of "The Voice of Nature".
Liang Shuyi was not accustomed to the alarmist Xiangjiang media such as "Xiangjiang Morning Post" this time, and after seeing the relevant negative reports, she immediately sent people to collect relevant evidence, and then sued seven large and small media newspapers such as "Xiangjiang Morning Post" to court, demanding that they compensate the "Voice of Nature" program team and mentors and students a total of 36 million Hong Kong dollars.
In response to a reporter's question, Liang Shuyi said: "Some newspapers have no professional bottom line at all, and they wantonly slander them. The "Hong Kong Morning Post" and other media outlets have disregarded public trust and wantonly fabricated false news, which is tolerable and intolerable. These newspapers have repeatedly provoked them for the sake of sales, and Jiayi TV will resort to legal means to solve them. Even if you can't win the lawsuit, Jiayitai will continue to fight, and if you can't win it in a year, you will fight for three or five years. I would like to see if the little money earned by these lace tabloids such as the "Xiangjiang Morning Post" is enough for millions of lawyers!"
As soon as Liang Shuyi's words came out, all his peers knew that the "Hong Kong Morning Post" and other seven newspapers were finished.
It is true that a newspaper can increase sales by playing rumors on the sidelines, and it is difficult for the slandered person to win a lawsuit without specifying the exact target. Not only will the lawsuit not be won, but the lawsuit will also increase the exposure of the newspaper and make the newspaper's sales better.
But if the victim is determined to lose both sides and fights a bastard lawsuit for many years, the big newspapers can still afford the money that the tabloids like the "Hong Kong Morning Post" make every year, but they can't afford the high lawyer's fees.
Sometimes you can't back down, the more you back down, the more you can get an inch, and only killing the chicken and making an example is a wise choice.
Just like the Bay Island TV industry after the 90s, many celebrities have opened their mouths on the show, spreading rumors and slandering or exposing other celebrities and companies to attract attention and increase ratings.
However, there are some companies and celebrities that have been put on a list of prohibited critics by Bay Island TV.
Why?
Because as long as you talk bad about these people and companies on the show, the other party will immediately send a lawyer's letter to ask for an apology, and if you don't apologize, they will take you to court. After a long time, the TV stations and celebrities were scared and didn't dare to say bad things about them.
The same is true for newspapers such as "Xiangjiang Morning Post", these newspapers, which only sell a few thousand copies on average, do not have the courage to fight with Jiayitai at all, and they can't hold on before they start the lawsuit, so they take the initiative to seek a private settlement with Jiayitai.
After the "friendly negotiation" between the two sides, the "Xiangjiang Morning Post" and other seven newspapers promised to compensate the "Voice of Nature" program team with a total of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the tutor and related students with a total of 300,000 yuan for reputational damage, and issued an apology announcement on the front page for a week, privately promising not to report unfavorable news for Jiayi in the future.
Soon ushered in the second issue of "The Voice of Nature", and the popular singer of this issue is the band BEYOND. The original time and space BEYOND band participated in the "Yamaba Guitar Competition" in June this year and won the championship and officially debuted.
After the BEYOND band came on the stage, he didn't use any pathos offensive, and won the applause of the audience and the competition of the four mentors just by virtue of his singing skills, and finally Teddy Robin grabbed the group of students of the BEYOND band by virtue of his identity as the band's predecessor.
By the way, the second issue of "The Voice of Nature" was also recorded in the No. 1 studio hall of Jiayi TV, with an audience of more than 4,800 people, all of whom spent several times the ticket price of the movie to enter, and the scale is already equivalent to the solo concert of an ordinary first-line singer.
When the second issue of "The Voice of Nature" was broadcast, no one on the streets of Xiangjiang saw a few, and it had already reached the effect of "Step by Step" and "Shanghai Beach" when they were on the air, and they could definitely be called empty alleys. The data of the second issue of "The Voice of Nature" was quickly counted, reaching a terrifying 73% rating.
It's not just a sensation in Xiangjiang, because Southeast Asia and Haojiang also have audiences from Jiayi Channel, and after the second episode of "The Voice of Nature" was broadcast, Nanyang and Haojiang also reacted strongly. Many people who like to sing in Nanyang and Haojiang have called or written to Jiayitai to ask if overseas audiences can sign up, and they are more impulsive to come to Xiangjiang by boat and plane.
The media in the Nanyang region and Haojiang also began to report on the program "The Voice of Nature", and local TV stations also sought to buy the rebroadcast rights of "The Voice of Nature".
There are also some small TV stations that have begun to copy "The Voice of Nature", such as Indonesia's national TV station has a "The Voice of Indonesia", but the ratings are ugly after it is made. As for the simple reason, the stage of the copycat show is too small, the lighting and sound equipment is too frustrated, the contestants are not trained, and the number of cameras is only one-third of that of "The Voice of Nature". Audiences who are accustomed to the excellent production of "The Voice of Nature" are not interested in cheap copycat programs at all.
When "The Voice of Nature" had just begun to prepare, the two TV stations of TVB and ATV secretly satirized Liang Shuyi for making the same mistake and spending money lavishly, especially after the loss of more than 600,000 yuan in the first episode, this argument was even more noisy.
Now more than a dozen TV stations in Nanyang and Haojiang have come to buy the rebroadcast rights, and immediately let Jiayi TV station make a large amount of rebroadcast income again after earning a lot of advertising fees, and the people who say strange things disappear immediately.
